Welcome To Oxford Data Consultancy Ltd

Oxford Data Consultancy is an innovative UK company headed by a managing director with twenty eight years experience in providing consultancy and data capture to organisations within the public, social housing and private sectors.
With so much experience as a company, ODC understand that no two projects are the same and are capable of defining the best solution, whatever your individual requirements may be.

Data Capture can be a daunting process to undertake, whether it be Grounds Maintenance or PAI projects for ESRI, Cadcorp or other systems you can rest assured that Oxford Data Consultancy have the knowledge to help you choose the best solution

To get the full benefit of a GIS somebody involved with the system must have significant expertise. GIS officers are in short supply and the costs are not insignificant. Organisations that do not have access to GIS expertise usually find that the system is not used to its full potential.

ODC have created Managed Service packages fitting for any size Housing Association. Providing not only GIS tasks but also include ODC’s Web Mapping Application GISMO.

Our Managed Services will help you to get the most out of GIS without the pricey investment.

Tasks can be conducted such as comparing your stock to the Indices of Multiple Deprivation domains to see which of your tenants are the most likely to be deprived. (See further tasks within the Managed Service page).

GISMO can be made available to all staff within your organisation and can be used on any device from a windows smartphone to an Ipad. There is also the option to add GISMO Mobile which will allow your staff to access, manage and capture data out in the field.

What our Clients say:

‘Following a housing officer review, the trust identified that requests for grounds maintenance and land ownership was reliant on one staff member provisioning this information, which inevitably resulted in delays and poor customer service. ODC supported the trust to identify a solution that meant that both internal and external customers had access to this information at their fingertips. ODC exceeded the Trust’s expectations with postcode search functionality and through their professionalism, speed of delivery, ongoing communication and willingness to accommodate any change requests. For this reason and due to the satisfactory the Trust have with the value for money solution deployed, I would highly recommend ODC’.

Sharon Naughton, Project Manager

I’ve found all of the data to be good, clean looking data with seamless joins in the shape files – no gaps. It’s been a pleasure to work with it

Alex Flarty, Senior Grounds & Estates Manager- VIVID Homes

It has been a pleasure working with Craig and the team from ODC. They have been very helpful and professional in carrying out the data collection an mapping exercise for NPH. This has enabled us to have accurate and up to date data to carry out the procurement of our communal cleaning in blocks of flats and estate grounds maintenance contracts. The accuracy of the data was commented on by the contractors who took part in the tender process. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other organisations or working with Craig and ODC again.

It’s been a pleasure working with Oxford Data Consultancy, the service they provided was always efficient and reliable. The maps which were developed for all our sites have allowed our contractors to provide accurate tender prices for all our site services. So we can ensure we provide value for money for all our residents.

ODC provided consultancy to assist with the implementation of our Intranet GIS and I was surprised at how much was achieved in such a short time. It was a real team effort with Cadcorp, emapsite, ODC and our own staff all working together to roll out the system. I would not hesitate to recommend ODC's consultancy services
